Have you ever experienced that when you woke up in the morning or when you get back in your house after your work, you open your computer and when you open the browser you saw this screen

What you do is you try to type again the web address (URL) . But upon trying that for several times, you tried to visit another site, and what you get is the same screen, “Page Cannot be Displayed”.

Oh no, you don’t have internet connection! What most people do after seeing this message is they contact their ISP (Internet Service Provider). That’s a great idea! But contacting ISP is not that too easy! You are on a queue of thousands of people trying to reach the ISP’s technical support department! You wait for 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. You are now losing your patient for waiting on the line and hearing those irritating background music. After waiting, you finally got the tech support agent. You burst out your feeling and you can’t help yourself from getting angry. But what happened is, the technical support agent hanged up. Oh, gosh! This is what you’ve got after experiencing the problem and waiting on the phone! You are now very aggravated! You almost throw your phone and kick off your computer!

    I think you better try this step by step procedures first before calling your ISP. This is proven to work for cable ISP. Having no internet on CABLE ISP is the easiest one to troubleshoot than DSL ISP, for it uses automatic IP addressing and no need for username and password.

1. Check the cable connection. Make sure that the modem is connected to the “internet port” on the back of the router. And make sure that the PC is connected to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the linksys router.

2. If cable connections are good, turn off the PC and if it is already off, turn off the router and then the modem. Wait for 2-5 mins. Then turn on the modem and if all the lights on the modem are steady, turn on the linksys router, after the linksys router, the PC.

3. Check if you have valid IP address. it should be 192.168.1.x.

4. If still you don’t have internet, log on the router’s setup page. (don’t know how? go to my article “HOW TO ACCESS LINKSYS ROUTER”S SETUP PAGE)

5. Enable MAC CLONE. Then, follow step 2.

6. If still you don’t have internet. Check IP address again. If IP address is 192.168.1.x, change IP address to 192.168.x.1 and then follow step 2. If IP is 0.0.0.0, release/renew IP.
